The Origins of Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms

Using recent information on the migration period in lowland Britain produced by historians, archaeologists and place-name scholars, these essays seek to throw new light on the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and the development of the concept of kingship. A general explanation is also given of the processes of state-formation by which the many kingdoms of later 7th century England had evolved in the preceding two centuries.
